Echo CS-3510ES Petrol Chainsaw (35cm Guide Bar)

This lightweight but powerful petrol-driven machine from Japanese power tool innovators Echo offers the sort of effortless handling and superior build-quality that are essential for farmers and estate workers who are regularly undertaking demanding chainsaw applications.

It’s equipped with a high-performance 34.4cc two-stroke motor, which features Echo’s cutting-edge engine technology, whereby power delivery and fuel economy are optimised, while the emission of harmful exhaust particulates is cut (the engine is Stage-Two compliant).

Other engine features include Easy Start, which lessens starter cord resistance for almost effortless ignition; a tool-free filter cover, which makes removal of the air- ilter for replacement or cleaning purposes a quick and simple task; and a G-Force pre-cleaner for reduced maintenance.

Echo CS-3510ES Petrol Chainsaw boasts an automatic chain oiler with an adjustable flow rate that can be set to suit the density of the wood you’re working with. So as to avoid wastage and mess, the oil flow to the guide bar is stopped when the engine is at idle.

A commercial-duty six-point vibration reduction system combines with the saw’s low-weight build (3.7kg) to facilitate extended periods of use; the provision of an automatic inertia-activated chain brake confers maximum user safety in the unlikely event one of the chain teeth catches a knot in the wood.

This premium machine also features a chain catcher, which further enhances operator-safety; and an anti-icing system, which ensures the carburettor remains functional in freezing or sub-zero conditions.
